Assuming that hell has the concept of physics, including time and space...what happens when hell runs out of room for the new arrivals...I mean assuming there was a hell since the earth started billions of years ago, or even 2006 years ago, there sure were a hell of a lot of people that died.
"When there is no more room in hell, will the dead walk the earth?"

I think that believers in Hell do not necessarily believe that Hell has laws of physics. It may, it may not, no one knows. But I'm sure a believer will tell you that Heaven and Hell are places that are beyond our imagination and do not conform to laws of physics as we know them.

Okay, If God created everything, then he also created hell and he also created physics. He made the laws that govern the universe, what makes you think he can't un-make them, or change them, or anything else he wants with them for that matter? And what makes you so certain that hell is contained by time and space? also, what makes you so sure that earth is billions of years old? the bible points to a relatively young earth... no more then 10,000 years old and probably less.
So 'when there is no room in hell, will the dead walk the earth?' (is that from Constantine?) No. Because God created hell (and the rules that govern hell) to hold the demons and now to hold those who refuse his Son. It will hold.

With all due respect, hell (by christian definition) is not actually a place that exists in this world. You cannot assume anything in the spiritual realm follows the laws of physics because there is no way to test it. After the end of the world, heaven will exist for eternity and so will hell, so there is by definition of eternity, no time. Your question is limited by a misunderstanding of "forever" and "endless". As far as the dead walking the earth, it depends on who you talk to. The living who have been resurrected will walk the earth from what I understand. I hope this helps.

Hell isn't really a place, it is the absence of everything, including the presence of God. Some say that going to Hell is a choice--people don't get sent to hell, they just choose to move away from God. In any case, neither heaven nor hell follow the laws of physics, so neither will fill up anytime soon. Doesn't sound like a bad movie plot, though.
Though it reminds me of a joke: A guy dies and goes to heaven. He is ready to enjoy the heavenly feast, but then God shows up with a can of tuna and some toast. "Gee," the guy says, "I kind of thought the food would be better here." God says, "Well, you know, it's hardly worth heating up the stove for just the two of us!"

Well acording to some religious sects(denomination of our lovely Christianity)
There will be only 144000 ppl saved. And as i noticed that denomination has 6 million ppl coun ted and they still growing.
So if some how GOD can fill 6 million dummies into 144000 empty spaces inheaven i am sure he can put all generations into hell with limited spacing.

Well, seeing as God is God, I'm sure there could always be more room made, or maybe that's part of hell, having to be so close.
And, there really isn't evidence to support that the world is billions of years old.

There is no time and space in Hell. It is a realm of the supernatural, just like Heaven. The differences as far as what it is like down there should be obvious - eternal suffering, hate, anger, alienation from God; worse than any human suffering imaginable.

Since your initial assumption of hell is wrong, there's no point in continueing.
Hell, like heaven is a place that is not bound by physical laws. Its also to indicate seperation from God as well as punishment. Hell was not made for humans, but since mankind choose to submit to satan it became our destination as well.

Hell is again something we can't answer. Like, how many spirits can dance on the head of a pin?

Hell is only a state of mind where you have the absence of joy, happiness, peace, any kind of pleasure, and, worst of all, the absence of anyone to know and love (which is what we were created to do) besides yourself which gets really boring.
